Types of printers:
- Laser printer: Laser printers work through electronically charging a piece of paper with the digital images selected for printing.Laser printers are much more efficient than ink-jet printers.
- Ink-jet printer: An ink-jet printer works through spraying minute dots of ink onto paper to create an image. The dots use a combination of different colours to create photo-realistic images.
- 3D printer: A 3D printer is a type of printer that makes 3D objects. It's a type of industrial robot.
- Plotter printer:The plotter is a computer printer for printing vector graphics.Pen plotters print by moving a pen or other instrument across the surface of a piece of paper.
